Senator Loren Legarda today expressed her support for the back-to-back launches of the Hibla ng Lahing Filipino Travelling Exhibition at the Philippine Embassies in Madrid, Spain and Washington D.C., USA.
Legarda said that these exhibits are offshoots of the National Museum’s Hibla ng Lahing Filipino: The Artistry of Philippine Textiles gallery, which is her brainchild. The inaugural launch of Hibla Travelling Exhibition was held in London in October 2017.
Senator Loren Legarda yesterday said that freedom does not just mean freedom from foreign oppressors, but most importantly freedom from poverty and vulnerability due to disasters.
Legarda made the statement as the nation celebrated the 120th year commemoration of Philippine Independence on June 12.
Senator Loren Legarda today encouraged everyone to visit the 2018 Sikat Pinoy National Arts and Crafts Fair to be held on June 14-17, 2018 at Megatrade Halls 1-3 in SM Megamall and support the country’s artisans and producers of indigenous crafts.
In commemoration of the Philippines’ 120th Independence Day, Senator Loren Legarda urged Filipinos to be open to all kinds of change, but to never forget the importance of protecting and preserving our culture and identity as Filipinos.
“I urge Filipinos all over the globe to embrace change. It is inevitable and it is part of growth and development, both as individuals and as a country. Move forward, take in all the new things that this rapidly changing world has to offer,” Legarda said.
